Tech giants TikTok, Snapchat, and Stability AI have signed a joint statement pledging to work together to counter child sex abuse images generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Britain announced the joint statement – which also listed the United States, German and Australian governments among its 27 signatories – at an event being held in the run up to a global summit set to be hosted by the UK on AI safety this week.
“We resolve to sustain the dialogue and technical innovation around tackling child sexual abuse in the age of AI,” the statement read.”We resolve to work together to ensure that we utilise responsible AI for tackling the threat of child sexual abuse and commit to continue to work collaboratively to ensure the risks posed by AI to tackling child sexual abuse do not become insurmountable.”
The UK government cited data from the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) showing that in one dark web forum, users had shared nearly 3,000 images of AI-generated child sexual abuse material.
“It is essential, now, we set an example and stamp out the abuse of this emerging technology before it has a chance to fully take root,” said IWF chief executive Susie Hargreaves.
The tech companies that have signed the statement have agreed to share best practices and collaborate on developing new technologies to detect and remove AI-generated child sex abuse images. They have also committed to working with law enforcement agencies to prosecute those who create and distribute this type of content.
The pledge to work together to counter AI-generated child sex abuse images is a welcome step. As AI technology continues to develop, it is important that tech companies and governments work together to ensure that it is not used to create and distribute harmful content.
